Fuel cells in the postal industry: Case studies

  • USPS
  • CHP plant delivered in USPS processing and

distribution facility in Anchorage, Alaska

  • USPS operating Hydrogen3 min-vans since 2006
  • USPS operating Chevrolet Equinox since 2008
  • DHL Express

ss Japan pan: Daimler F-Cell vehicle operated

in very dense area of Tokyo with very frequent stops

  • FedEx

x Canada ada‟s facility located at the Toronto

International Airport: Hydrogenics fuel cell powered forklift truck

  • Royal Mail initiated partnership involving CENEX,

PostEurope and FuelCellEurope to develop a universal design specification for a HFC Car Derived Van

Royal Mail, PostEurop and FuelCellEurope initiative

  • March 2009: Royal Mail, PostEurop and FuelCellEurope joined

forces:

Working with CENEX for the development of a universal design specification for hydrogen fuel cell postal vans. To engage with OEMs to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel cells postal van To accelerate a broader adoption by other postal operators

  • Summer 2009: FuelCellEurope establishes Customer Application

Group Postal Services. Discussions with Poste Italiane, Deutshe Post, La Poste (FR)

  • 15 Sept. 2009 : Joint task force established to develop joint

project on fuel cell delivery vehicles across Europe

  • 22 Oct. 2009: Project concept presented to other postal operators

Conclusion: Opportunities for enhancing cooperation between the postal and the fuel cell industry

  • Energy efficiency and carbon mitigation at core of the postal

industry‟s future

  • Collective needs of the postal industry are huge in terms of

delivering vehicles, material handling equipment and back-up power.

  • Most equipments and vehicle fleets operate in a finite environment

requiring a lesser capital intensive hydrogen infrastructure to start.

  • Dr Martin Blake, the Royal Mail's Head of Sustainability stated

“We clearly see hydrogen fuel cell technology as the future means of small and medium vehicle propulsion in the not too distant future, it is now just a question of seeing which one of the major motor manufacturers can bring such fuel cell commercial vehicles to market in large numbers and reasonable prices first”.

  • Major OEM and leading fuel cell players should engage in this kind of

initiative: join forces together with us and make sure companies such as Royal Mail get the necessary level of support they deserve !
